Topic: Holes in Tomatillo Leaves (Read 4488 times)

I moved my garden but am still having the same problem as last year with my tomatillo plant. All the leaves have small holes. I heard that they outgrow this problem, but they didn't last year. Anyone have any ideas?

Do you use sprinklers for irrigation?Water droplets can made this holes on sunny days.

Nope. I'm currently watering this remote garden with a bucket (luckily, it's next to a pond).I haven't found anything on the underside of the leaves. In researching this, flea beetles seem to fit the description, except they aren't bothering my tomato or pepper plants. Same thing last year. Whatever it is, it only attacks the tomatillos.

Don't know abouth the flea beetles, but on the deer you beat up 1 egg, add it to 1 cup of cheap dish washing liquid and 1 gal. of water in a sprayer. Spray it on the brush around your gardern once a month and after a big rain will keep the deer out.A truck farmer gave me this, it does work.
